Iran’s chief negotiator says the United States wanted to restart the Middle East war after President Donald Trump said he would attack again unless Tehran agreed to a peace deal, AFP reports.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who warned of a “forceful response”, has spoken after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said any renewed war would spread far beyond the Middle East.
“The enemy’s movements, both overt and clandestine, show that despite economic and political pressure, it has not abandoned its military objectives and is seeking to start a new war,” Ghalibaf says in an audio message carried by Iranian media.
